Snapshot 12w24a Available for Testing!

This has been a busy week! Mojang has moved to their new office; it looks great but is still far from finished. They still squeezed in some work on Minecraft, so here’s the new snapshot:

Features:

You can now use “/publish” to open your single-player game for LAN friends to join. This is still very much work in progress, so it lacks some necessary settings such as what game mode your friends will get, and if they should be able to use cheats or not. Also, the “/publish” command is temporary, you can’t even access it if you haven’t enabled cheats =)
The Ender Chest has been changed to have an inventory per player and not per world. Also, knocking down the chest will break it into 8 obsidian, unless you have Silk Touch.
The texture pack folder button now works on Mac

Fixes:

Fixed bug when Minecraft doesn't save your progress, stops generating chunks and freezes all the mobs.
Fixed the Enderdragon not dealing any damage to the player after it has been hit once
Fixed explosions not pushing back players
Fixed buckets not picking up or placing water within the spawn protection

You should add a password system to ender chests, so if one person is on frequency "Bacon" only people that know the password "Bacon" can access those items.

You guys ruined Ender Chests. Plain and simple. I was ok with the Piston mod and what you did with it, but this is just dumb. If your going to take the idea, just use the whole damn mod ffs.

It is a pretty good update. Jeb is trying to make it good. It will take time, but it will be amazing when 1.3 is out! www.youtube.com/xvenom17 ~Subscribe~

Just a question, would my friend that lives across the street from my house, be able to play on one of my published worlds? Just curious, I know what LAN is, but not sure if we will be able to play like that.

Any help?

I don't really see the point of nerfing the enderchest like he did. The change for multiplayer I have no problem with, but now trying to pick the chest back up has become extremely inconvenient.

Good, some things should be difficult and or consume time to produce or reproduce.

Well, as it turns out, getting an eye of ender is relatively easy, but it's just tedious. Tedium is not the same thing as a challenge. It's just annoying to go through, which takes away from the fun.

Another thing, the chest really isn't worth the trouble of going through the process of getting another eye of ender. It only really provides the benefit of an extended inventory.

I wonder when jens is going to make signs way easier to edit. Signs are a pain to use right now.

What would you want him to do to make it easier? If anything, he should make books easier to edit.

The point of nerfing the Ender chest is to make picking it up inconvenient, so really you should be able to see the point even if you don't agree with it.

The Ender chest was not supposed to be a magical backpack. It was supposed to be a chest that had the same stuff in it wherever you opened it.

Now, a magical backpack, that would be interesting...

Yeah, I get that it's to make it inconvenient. What I don't get is why it was nerfed to the point of near uselessness.

And dungeons were supposed to be rooms where you can find treasure at the cost of fighting 20 zombies, but that didn't stop people from making grinders, and yet I don't see that functionality being removed.

Yeah that would be great, signs are a pain to edit. If they could add something like what the plugin DeadBolt has, where you right click on the sign and it gives you the option to /edit line text.

Cant wait for the update, though it is taking forever and the server i play on is dying because of it :/

=( I want both, okay? I'm using signs for navigation in my map, and I'm using books for narration. When I find that I pressed DONE, then there's an error, I HAVE TO ERASE EVERYTHING AFTER THE ERROR AND WRITE IT AGAIN!!! So all Mojang employees, PLEASE HEAR THIS DAMN CALL!

Wonder when they're gonna fix exp? (It should be harder, not easier than it is now!)
Experience is too easy in 1.2.3, let alone what it's like in 1.3.. It needs to be a lot harder. :\
